dbk Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I have a couple of sensor panel gauges set to monitor the upload and download speed of the wired network interface. which normally on this system is NIC4 and there none after that. Sometimes I notice that the gauges are not reading and the problem is the wired interface has changed to NIC5, if I reboot NIC5 is gone and the gauges are working again. Anyone have any ideas why a NIC5 would appear and then go away after a reboot, I have searched the registry for the words NIC4 or NIC5 when it is present but get no hits, Latest version of AIDA64, Windows 10 64 bit all updates. Thanks Quote

Thanks You can check the list of available network adapters in both cases on the Network / Windows Network page of AIDA64. I think the issue may be because one of the network adapters gets removed by Windows for some reason. Maybe a WiFi adapter that gets disabled and enabled sometimes? Quote
SONY Posted July 22, 2024 Posted July 22, 2024 AIDA64 should NOT attach sensors to NIC interface numbers AIDA64 actually shouldn't attach/associate the sensors to NICs numbers that change constantly due to power policies and or multiple NICs being enabled & disabled. Makes much more sense to associate Net device with MAC instead of NIC number. Because I'd would change MAC address on purpose and would not leave OS to decide all the time. Every time I disable WiFi or some other OS NET related event happens my sensors display the wrong info. At some point I got totally confused. Like below. Two cards basically changing Interface numbers all the time and this is in the end what I did by mistake. Quote
SONY Posted September 25, 2024 Posted September 25, 2024 Nobody even bothered to check and response? Quote

I have the same problem on my amd system after a while the nic controllers get switched up the up/down graph doesnt work then, my fix is just change the nic and save till it happens again.. Quote

Yep. The same issue here. Only if they would give an option to attach the sensors to a mac addresses instead. Quote

eskimo718 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 @Fiery I have this same issue, I don't change any network settings on every startup, but the number associated to the NIC seems to change based on what is detected first? Quote
FrankieSeZ Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Yep, still a thing. 6 years later and this exact problem persists LMAO Quote
KC8DKT Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Same for me. I ended up doing a DUPLICATE for all 8 nic3/nic4 LCD Items. I just highlight all the nic3s and HIDE or Nic4s depending on what's working. Saves a lot of time compared to switching 8 nic3s over to 8 nic4s. From what I can tell this is a DMA/IRQ bios thing. When I looked into this I found that my soundcard changes its IRQ/DMA every time the nics change. No clue why or how to stop it but its ONLY when I power OFF the system. A reboot does not do it. MSI AMD motherboard now but had this same problem on my Asus Intel setup years ago as well. Not sure if the soundcard was switching around like now or not though. Quote
FrankieSeZ Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Same problem persists. In my case it attaches to the highest number which is never anything beyond NIC5, so what happens is NIC5 intermittently disappears leaving nothing connected, I have to go in and assign NIC4. When NIC5 reappears, NIC4 no longer works and I have to go in and manually set NIC5 again. Honestly its just so stupid Quote
